As you’re running down your child’s packing list, you could very well come across ‘laundry bag’ as a necessary item. Not that all camps require their campers to bring their own laundry bags, but some do—and, whether the camp requires it or not, it’s always a handy item that will help ensure that your kid brings all their camp clothes back home after camp is over.

Of course, you can find a bunch of cool laundry bags at Everything Summer Camp; we carry a variety of fabrics, styles, and brand names. Laundry bags, however, are not your only choice here. The alternative: Laundry Hampers. Check out these cool, new hampers, now available at Everything Summer Camp!

We now offer the Triple Compartment Hamper as well as the Pop-up Mesh Hamper.

The Triple Compartment Hamper has three separate sections so you can keep your colors separate from your whites. This Hamper travels easily and has carrying handles to make for convenient laundry trips. Made with quality construction and a built-in Flexi Frame, this Triple Compartment Hamper is durable and ready for the summer camp lifestyle.
You could get that hamper or you could go a simpler route with the awesome Pop-up Mesh Hamper for your dirty camp clothes. It’s made of sturdy construction with a flexible frame and holds a full load of laundry. Lightweight and collapsible, the Pop-up Mesh Hamper makes for easy transportation.

Hampers are undoubtedly superior to laundry bags since they stand up and stay open. You can practice your aim and shoot baskets like LeBron James with these hampers. You can’t do that with laundry bags, making our Triple Compartment Hamper and Pop-up Mesh Hamper excellent alternatives. Get a hamper to put your clothes in; we highly recommend it!

Enjoy your camp prepping and, as always, thanks for reading.

Since SO MANY people go to summer camp every year, it should come as no surprise that people of all kinds end up attending summer camp—even big name Hollywood celebrities like Scott Foley went to camp once upon a time when they were closer to your age.
Maybe you know him best for his role as Bob Brown, the lead character in the television series, ‘The Unit’. Or maybe for his recurring role as Henry Burton in the television series ‘Grey’s Anatomy’. Maybe you know him best as Roman Bridger from the third ‘Scream’ movie or maybe you know him better as Sean Kelly, Elliot Reid’s boyfriend on the sitcom ‘Scrubs’.

In any case, before he ever took on any such roles mentioned above, he went to summer camp at Red Arrow Camp. Located on Trout Lake in northern Wisconsin, this boys camp was founded in 1920 and has delivered the ultimate summer camp experience to other well-known people like Tommy Bartlett and Chris Farley.

Born in Kansas City, Scott was the oldest of three boys. When he was only 15, he lost his mother. Consequently, Scott ended up spending chunks of his childhood in places like Australia and Japan, following his father on business trips as an international banker.

Scott caught his break playing the character of Noel Crane on the television series ‘Felicity’ and continued to successfully broaden his acting career. But he didn’t stop there; he also tried his hand at directing. He got some good experience in, directing single episodes of television shows like ‘Felicity’ as well as ‘Monk’. He eventually wrote and directed his own film.

Quite an accomplished figure in Hollywood, Scott Foley attended summer camp and followed his interests and dreams. What will happen to you after camp? As always, thanks for reading, Campers.

For our latest new product installments, we’ve started carrying a handful of new backpacks and duffel bags from High Sierra. From frame packs to wheeled duffels, traveling for camp just continues to get easier and more convenient!

Concerning backpacks, we’re happy to offer the latest from High Sierra. Introducing the Women’s Piton 30, the Lightning 30, as well as the High Sierra Cirque. Made of durable and water-resistant Ripstop fabric, these packs are built-tough. Yet, despite the solid construction, they carry with absolute comfort thanks to their mesh padding and molded foam back panels.

While you can quench your thirst with any of these Frame Packs since they’re equipped with hydration ports, the Wave 70 Hydration Pack was specifically made for the job. Sip a hands-free drink any time you need with your High Sierra Wave Hydration Pack. It holds a 1.5L water bag inside.

Along with our new packs, we’ve also added High Sierra’s 24” and 30” Wheel N’ Go Duffels to our stock. Boasting more convenience than ever before, you can ROLL these duffels on their two inline skate wheels. Transport camping gear with great ease!

If you’d rather carry it, you have the option of holding it by the comfortable carrying handle or you can convert the handles into shoulder straps and carry it as a backpack. With an easy-access pocket for essentials and frequently needed items and the duffels meet all carry-on requirements for airlines. Once emptied, these duffels are able to roll right up into themselves to make for very simple, hassle-free storage.

Embrace the comfort and convenience of great summer camp gear and go with High Sierra for your backpack and duffel bag needs. As always, thanks for reading.

What do you get when you shine a bright UV light on your brush and all those germs that like to hang out on the bristle’s of your brush when you’re not using it? Answer: a clean toothbrush. Check out what Violife has been up to for the last 10 years and learn about their innovative, high-quality products available here at Everything Summer Camp.

Violife got their start a little over a decade ago in 2004. Like the early beginnings of Everything Summer Camp, they offered only one product when they first got started: the Original Countertop Sanitizer. This product came about when Violife and Philippe Starck, a world-famous designer, joined forces.

Thanks to a delicate balance of fashion and function, this toothbrush holder does so much more than hold your toothbrush! It CLEANS it! That’s right. Using UV light, it actually kills off 99.9% of germs that are living on the bristles of your brush. By the next year, this product won the desired Industrial Designers Society of America Gold Award.

Since then, Violife has expanded their oral care products with travel toothbrush holders, denture, cleaners, mouth guard cleaners. They also developed the world’s very first UV Cell Phone Sanitizer and then, directly after that, created the Slim Sonic Toothbrush, one of the two Violife toothbrushes that we offer.

The Slim Sonic is the most convenient and stylin’ toothbrush on the market. Vibrating at more than three times the speed of the fastest electric toothbrush, the Slim Sonic is the very first portable, battery-operated brush. It comes in a cool, colorful, compact case with a vented mascara-style cap so you can carry this with you wherever you go. We also carry Violife’s stylish Personal Travel Toothbrush. Violife is the quickest, easiest, and most efficient method of keeping your brush clean after use. Wear your best smile, campers. And, as always, thanks for reading.
